Maxime Desprey

France

Last season, Maxime battled with now-teammate Mel Pocock for the MX2 European Championship. Desprey is part of the young flock in MX2 that is looking to reach another level with their performance and capabilities. He is firmly a rider for the future and the depth of his talent indicates he could mix it up in the paddock in his debut term this season. A smart racer, Maxime needs to get to grips with one of the fastest MX2 bikes in the gate – the Cosworth-powered Yamaha YZ250F – and then learn the business of MX2 at the sharp end.
